1. Rockland (15-2, 2) – The Bulldogs finished off an undefeated season in the South Shore League Sullivan Division with a 53-52 win over Norwell on Friday. The Bulldogs are 12-0 in 2018. Wednesday’s game against Hanover is a must-see game between favorites from Division 2 and 3 South. Zach Sharland has been an unstoppable force for the Bulldogs this season.

2. Hingham (14-2, 1) – The Harbormen’s 14-game winning streak came to an end on Friday with a 68-51 loss to Whitman-Hanson. Hingham will earn at least a share of the Patriot League Keenan Division title by winning its final two league games. Hingham ends the year with a home-and-home with Norwell on Feb. 19 and 21, two games that could have major swings for both team’s tournament seeds.

3. Hanover (15-4, 3) – Hanover hung tough against Division 1 powerhouse B.C. High on Thursday in a loss and squeaked out tight wins over Silver Lake and Pembroke. A win on Tuesday at Scituate would give the Indians sole possession of the Patriot League Fisher Division title.

4. Marshfield (11-4, 4) – The Rams fell to Brockton on Thursday but rebounded with a solid win over Nauset on Saturday. Marshfield will be playing the role of an underdog come tournament time despite the Rams likely earning a high seed.

On the bubble: Scituate (11-5), Norwell (10-6), Cohasset (11-6)
